The Rubik's Cube is so popular, they made a Nintendo DS game out of it, so now you can't reassemble the cubies or stickers to cheat at solving it!

Important to note: The difficulty of solving a Rubik's Cube is highly dependent on the skill of the scrambler. If your scrambler depends on a Random Number Generator, the task becomes much easier.

For each cube, the game starts with a solved one and scrambles it by making 25 random moves. Of course, this means that a random move can just be the reverse of the previous move, or it can be repeated until it cancels itself out.
Advancing text boxes advances the RNG, so this was heavily used to create cubes solvable with minimal moves.

Interestingly, there is an existing publication on TASVideos from 11 years ago solving the cubes in 1, 20, and 71 turns. This TAS solves them in 1, 10, and 13 turns, so a bit faster.
